The suits/shirts are fantastic. They cover what needs to be covered and he seems to not mind them. His Thundershirt came today. He seems to like it too.

We went for a walk around the pasture a little while ago. He is still a bit out of it from the pain meds, but seemed to enjoy the walk. He got to check out places he doesn't usually go and smell all those smells. He has to be walked for the next 10-14 days. We will do more exploring.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who's offered support through this whole mess with Beeg. It's been a rough journey. Thanks for being there for me.

You and Beeg are both troopers. I hope you can both enjoy the walks and breathe... or for Beeg sniff.

I'm glad Beeg enjoyed the walk and that he doesn't mind his shirts and suits. Way to go Beeg....Beeg on the mend!

Let's see if this works. It's Beeg in one of his suits.

I can't get the dang picture to post. It's in my photos if anyone wants to see it.

That is a fair chunk taken out of Beeg. Very nice clothing.

The vet called with the pathology results. The good news is they got all of the tumor. The not good news is that the rate the cells were replicating was higher than they like to see. I was concerned about how fast this tumor grew. It just blew up the last couple of weeks.

At this point all we can do is wait and see what happens. He may never get another tumor (fingers crossed) or he may get another. If he does the vet and I will have to look at options like chemo.

From what I've read chemo does not make dogs as sick as it does people. Still, I want him to have quality of life.

On the plus side his appetite is good. He really, really wants to do zooming around the yard.

I hate having to wait and see what happens. I want definitive answers. But some times that's not the way the world works.

Oh, mixed news. I’m glad they got all of the tumor, that’s excellent. Yeah the real world isn’t so cut and dried as our books.

Thanks Nammu. I've given myself permission to feel like crap about this tonight.

The Big Guy got his stitches out yesterday. He was good about it. He was also enamored with a female dog who was waiting her turn to see the vet. He kept looking at her and whine. The little husky ignored the poor boy.

I asked some questions about if he has to have chemo in the future. He would have to see a veterinary oncologist. Got a rough ballpark figure of how much it could cost. I winced at the cost, then realized I have my government stimulus check I could use to cover it.

After giving myself Tuesday evening to feel bad about what the vet said I'm taking an approach similar to how we prepare for hurricanes. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I also reminded myself of one of my core beliefs. None of us have guarantees about tomorrow. Beeg seems happy and well. He is not worried about cancer and the future. Time to follow his lead and focus on enjoying the here and now with him.

Good on Beeg for admiring the scenery. Maybe that's all we can do too.
